Tripleshot Cycling

So, Glenowyn has kindly offered to provide a little guidance on how to ride a mountain bike - likely along the lines of "no, you must let go of that tree" followed by "watch out for the ... oh, nevermind" We are going to meet at the Durrance Lake Parking Lot at 6:00 and go for a ...

Great! So, is there somewhere specific at Hartland to meet at 6:00? Also, since it is a triathlon wearing a TT helmet is okay, right?

I might have just picked up a mountain bike and there might be an Xterra triathlon on Sunday (I wonder if there is a link between those two statements?) I have never ridden a Mtn Bike and was thinking about going out to Hartland (I have heard that is the place to go) on Thursday after work. Are any ...

Simon,

Is that 5:00 at the Switch Bridge? I may see if I can make it out to watch the suffering!

So, 15 B riders left Pareto for the B1 ride and over the next 70-80 minutes did a great job of working hard, but together. I had our average speed (from my Garmin) pegged at 36.1 - including time lost slowing down after the sprints, King George, etc. Great Work everyone! I particularly enjoyed the p...

John,

Thanks again for all your work in setting up and running such an excellent race night. The C riders (as well as the B and A racers) were treated to a well organized and fun introduction to both racing and Tripleshot.

You and the other volunteers ROCK!

Michael

I am riding out as well. I think some people will be at the Switcvh Bridge to ride out at 5:15 (because I may have mentioned that time to them already). The earlier time also helps get us there to assist John in any set-up, sweeping, (my recovery from the ride out :oops: ) etc.. So, if it works with...

Paula, In the past they have been very fussy that each team member must specifically have a gender :P I think that it is more important to participate than worry about gender composition but I am not the organizer. Having said that if we can have a couple of ladies teams that would be great! Michael

I think it was just because everyone was fighting for the incredible draft I provide

I am also in. We (Tripleshot) have hosted this a couple of times over the past few years and it has always been a blast. It is a two lap out and back course so you have the chance to see teams going the other direction. With the distance and short time between team starts there is also the opportuni...

Is anyone heading out to the Latoria Race tonight? If so, is anyone interested in meeting at the Switch Bridge around 5:00 or 5:15?

Michael

I echo the comments above - it was a well run and fun evening. I think we should also recognize the singular efforts of John T in running the show last night and making sure all the moving pieces were well co-ordinated - he was also a solid announcer - perhaps a closet Karaoke star - Christmas Party...

Brian,

Do these wheels come with the Diamond Earings

For all you aspiring triathletes here is a video from the perspective of both the triathlete and his coach - truly inspiring (as it relates to my personal training philosophy - especially the swim!)

So, is anyone interested in a Thursday ride on December 19th? Sunday Route to Mattick's Farm and return? I might not be at the start but would be keen to join up on the way.

Michael

The Wednesday night cross race is at the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence tonight. I went last week and it was surprisingly fun and very forgiving for those of us (ie me) who lack the experience or skill for this type of activity. If you are available to come the race starts at 5:30. Hopefully...

Chris,

It is great to hear that you are starting to see progress. Just think of this as an extended taper!

Best wishes for a swift and total recovery.
